- Cart abandoners: the product plus a reason to complete
- Past buyers: complementary products

- Control frequency.
- Refresh creatives often.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Judging success on clicks instead of enquiries and sales
- Stopping campaigns before they have enough data
- Running ads without conversion tracking
- Sending paid traffic to the homepage instead of a focused landing page
Quick checklist before you start
- Landing page that matches the offer
- Weekly review of results and search terms
- Conversion tracking tested end to end
- A follow-up process for every enquiry
- Clear goal and budget for the next three months
